This is an honest poem, and hits me right at my nose, so to speak. It is so easy and tempting to just buy instead of make. And helping our kids to start the adventure of making is truly a challenge, especially in this modern world of fast lanes, less time. But thanks to this reminder, I have started.

That’s pretty cool looking, i could all most imagine setting this one or a bunch of them up next to some G. I. JOE figures. Look like these creatures would be trying to take them on or some thing that they be checking out? But none the less a cool looking item, wonder how long it took to make this?
